Alarming Increase of International Anti-Semitism

Public Information and Diaspora Affairs Minister Yuli-Yoel Edelstein will present a special report to the cabinet on Sunday, which shows a rising trend in the numbers of acts of terror and attempted attacks on Jewish targets, primarily by those affiliated with extremist Muslim movements or the radical right, according to a Saturday-evening report by Kol Yisrael government radio.

The report says harassment of Jews is getting more serious. The phenomenon is prominent in Western Europe, both in verbal and physical manifestations. It also indicates continued open anti-Semitism on the Internet.
